To ,all whom, 'it may/,.concemv: Y Y

Be it known that I, CLAY-'rois 1B. ,Mo-V ELWAINE, a citizen of theUnited States., residing at Tulsa, in the county of Tulsa, State ofOklahoma, have invented anew and useful GasvBurner, of which thefollowing is Aa specification.

My invention relates to gas burners and its object-Visto provide in adevice of this kind a simple and` improved construction and` at theVsame time a construction of burner to which the gas and air are suppliedin thin sheets and intimately and thoroughly mixed therein to secure thebest results upon combustion.

The device embodying my invention is hereinafter described andillustrated in the accompanying drawings.

In thesev drawings, Figure il is a central vertical sectional view andFig, `2is an end two castings A. and B. These castings are `securedtogether by bolts F extending through both sections and by bolts FVpassing through lugs Roast on the sides of each section. In crosssection the burner is pref.- erably rectangular and at one end is taipered at A to provide a broad mouth or exit O for the mixed air andgas.`

Midway of the section A, a transverse wall H integral with the sectionextends inwardly and provides between the same and the bottom of thesection B a suitable space forming a passage for the incoming air andgas and also divides the box linto y a fuel receiving section and amouth section. The fuel receiving section is divided by an inclinedplate D clamped betweenthe sections A and B by the bolts F and F.

. Said plate D divides the fuel receiving section into an air receivingchamber G" and a gas receiving chamber L and divides the spaceintermediate the wall H and the bottom of section B so as to provide anopening or passage E for the air and an opening or `passage E `for thegas. The bolts F pass through plate D and properly position the plate inthe burner.

`A sliding plate` N, adjustable by a screw P passing through the topwall of section A, whose.V threads engage threads in the plate, may beadjusted to regulate the extent of the opening E and a `sliding plate N`resting on the bottom of section B is adjustable to regulate the extentof the opening E by means of a screw P pass ing throagh the end wall ofsection B `and whose threads engage threads in the i plate N.

Into an opening K of the section B is fitted a pipe K through which gasfrom any approved source (not shown) is sup` plied to the chamber L.Section A is provided with a rectangular air intake opening J leadingtothe .chamber G.

M designates a low wall or abutment formed integral with the bottoni ofsection `A intermediate the wall H and mouth O.

The gas issues from the chamber L through the passage E and as it passesthe opening, it` draws or sucks in air from chamber G through theopening E. Said gas and air emerges from these openings in wide sheetsand strike the abutment M which causes the gas and air to thoroughlyintermingle and mix, after which the mixture flows up over the abutmentand out through the mouth O in a wide sheet.

It is clear that changes within the terms of the following claims may bemade with` out departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Having thus described my invention `what I claim is l, A gas burnerhaving a hollow body, a wall extending within said body and spaced fromone portion thereof thereby providing a space between vthe end ofthewalland body and forming an air and gas mixing chamber on one sidethereof and a fuel receiving chamber on the opposite side thereof, saidlatter chamber having a partition dividing the same into a gas receivingchamber and an air receiving chamber and dividing the space between thewall and body into an opening or passage for air and an opening orpassage for gas, means to supply air to the air chamber, means to supplygas to the gas chamber, and an abutment in the mixing gas mixing chamberon one side thereof and a fuel receiving chamber on the opposite sidethereo-f, said latter chamber having a removable partition dividing thesame into a gas receiving chamber and an air receiving chamber anddividing the space between the wall and body into a passage for air anda passage for gas, means to supply air to the air chamber, means tosupply gas to the gas chamber, an abutment formed on one of saidsections in the mixing chamber against which the air and gas strike,substantially as described.

3. A gas burner having a. hollow body, a wall extending within said bodyand spaced from one portion thereof thereby providing a space betweenthe end of the wall and body and forming an air and gas mixing chamberon one side thereof and a fuel receiving chamber on the opposite sidethereof, said latter chamber having a partition dividing the same into agas receiving chamber and an air receiving chamber and dividing thespace between the wall and body into an opening or passage for air andan opening or passage for gas, means to supply air to the air chamber,means to supply gas to the gas chamber, sliding means to regulate theextent of said air opening, sliding means to regulate the extent of saidgas opening, and an abutment in the mixing chamber against which the airand gas strike, substantially as described.

4l. A gas burner having a hollow body provided with a fuel receivingchamber, an inclined partition in said chamber dividing tie same into anair receiving chamber and a gas receiving chamber, said'fuel receivingchamber provided with an opening divided by said partition into openingsor passages for the outiiow of air and gas and means to regulate theextent of each of said openings adjustable relative to said partition,means to supply air to the air chamber, and means to supply gas to thegas chamber, substantially as described.

A gas burner having a hollow body made in separable sections, meanssecuring said sections together, a wall integral with one of saidsections extending within said body and spaced from one portion thereofthereby providing a space between the end of the wall and body andforming an air and gas mixing chamber on one side thereof and a fuelreceiving chamber on the opposite side thereof, said latter chamberhaving a removable partition plate dividing the same into a gasreceiving chamber and an air receiving chamber and dividing the spacebetween the wall and body into a passage for air and a passage for gas,said plate secured between the body sections, means to supply air to theair chamber, means to supply gas to the gas chamber, and a raisedportion on one of said sections in the mixing chamber against which theair and gas strike, substantially as described.

6. A gas burner' having a hollow body made in separable sections, boltssecuringV said sections together, a wall connected to one of saidsections extending within said body and spaced from one portion thereofthereby providing a space between the end of the wall and body andforming an air and gas mixing chamber on one side thereof and a fuelreceiving chamber on the opposite side thereof, said latter chamberhaving a removable partition plate dividing the same into a gasreceiving chamber and an air receiving chamber and dividing the spacebetween the wall and body into a passage for air and a passage for gas,said plate clamped etween the body sections by said bolts, a slidingplate adjustable to regulate the extent of opening of the air passage, asliding plate adjustable to regulate the extent of opening of the gaspassage, a raised portion in the mixing chamber against which the airand gas strikes, means to supply air to the air chamber, and means tosupply gas to the gas chamber, substantially as described.
